Abstract
This archive contains data files and descriptive materials connected with a Southern Ocean field experiment conducted from Oct 2019 through Feb 2020 using a Wave Glider autonomous surface vehicle deployed and recovered from US Antarctic Program cruises LMG 19-09 and LMG 20-20. The Wave Glider (SV3-153) conducted an open-ocean survey of the Polar Front and a coastal survey of the shelf break front west of the Antarctic Peninsula, measuring upper ocean, lower atmosphere, and surface wave properties. The .zip file includes data files (.mat), a text (.txt) description of the files and variables, and a report and poster (.pdf) describing the dataset and results.
Description
This data accompanies a Final Report to the State Department required by our application to conduct research in a foreign Exclusive Economic Zone (Argentina's). In the end, the vehicle did not enter the EEZ but the data submission and report are required, nonetheless.
